Hortonova Crop Support Trellis is a strong versatile polypropylene mesh specially designed for efficient and economical cultivation of vegetables, fruits and flowers. Using Hortonova as a trellis allows climbing plants like beans, cucumbers and others to have greater exposure to sun and air while keeping them off the ground, which helps reduce rot and disease. Horizontal use keeps tomatoes, flowers and other non-climbing plants growing straight while maintaining optimal separation between the plants.

• Reduces installation labor costs
• Inexpensive, rot, and rust proof
• Provides better exposure to light and air
• Aseptic, reducing pesticide costs
• Resistant to U.V. rays
• Maximizes cultivation density
• Results in high crop yields

Installation

• Installed vertically it can be used for growing peas, beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, zucchini, and other climbing vegetables.
• Installed horizontally it can be used for growing cut flowers like carnations, chrysanthemums, daisies, gladioli, lilies, orchids, roses, and snapdragons.

Installing the posts and fastening the mesh

Growth of plants

Install Hortonova mesh for climbers vertically fastening it to posts along a row where plants will grow.

• Place posts about 10-15 feet apart from each other.
• Stretch a metal wire at the top to fasten the net.
• Fix the metal wire to the ground using U STAPLES.

Unroll and stretch the net for climbers along the structure and fasten it. Keep the net slightly raised from the ground to allow plants to develop grabbing the mesh and climbing on it.

• Fasten the mesh to the metal wire, placed at the top, with SYNTHETIC RAFFIA
• Fasten the net to the wooden posts using STAPLES
• Fix the net to the ground with U STAPLES

Horizontal installation of the net to grow cut flowers.

Stretch horizontally. Fasten it to posts mounted perpendicularly on the front and end posts, and to intermediate posts placed along the sides of the plot, about 5 to 10 feet apart from each other, according to the type of crop.

During the different phases of growth and development, new horizontal layers of net can be added.
